A 29-year-old woman in China’s Guangdong province was hospitalized with an H9N2 avian influenza infection and has since recovered. China’s Ministry of Health and Family Planning Commission said that the woman, who is from Zhongshan in Guangdong’s Pearl River delta region, recovered during her hospitalization in Guangzhou.
The World Health Organization (WHO) reported in May that the global count of confirmed human H9N2 cases was 28, with no deaths and no cases of person-to-person transmission. Since that time, two additional human infections have been reported, both of which occurred in Guangdong province.
